Dryinus cariniceps. 159 



notum is more strongly shagreened than the pronotum ; 

 the post-scutellum is black, roundly convex, more distinctly 

 so than the scutellum. Median segment as long as the 

 mesonotum and scutellum united ; except on the basai 

 slope fwhich is shagreened) it is distinctly, irregularly 

 reticulated. On the mesopleurae a furrow runs obliquely 

 irom the tubercles to the apex ; the basai part is obscurely 

 crenulated ; the apical appears more like a shining keel. 

 The l st abdominal segment is narrowed at the base, 

 becoming widened towards the apex ; the 2 nd is narrowed 

 at the base ; it is a little longer than the width at the 

 apex ; the 3 rd is wider than long. The teeth on the fore 

 claw are thin, short, closer and more numerous on the 

 basai, than on the apical half ; they appear irregulär and 

 some may hâve been rubbed off ; the apex ends in a 

 curved claw, with a shorter, blunter one behind it ; the 

 inner branch is short, about 3 times longer than wide, 

 its apex is rounded ; the penultimate joint is long and 

 thick, narrower at the base than at the apex. 



The malar space is furrowed ; it is as long as the 

 pedicle of the antennae. The narrowed apical part of 

 the pronotum is depressed ; the metanotum has a long, 

 gradually rounded slope. Parapsidal furrows narrow, 

 shallow, indicated on the basal half of the mesonotum 

 only. The fore claws are, in fresh examples probably 

 equally and regularly toothed; the hind tarsi are slightly 

 longer than their tibiae. The radius does not reach to 

 the middle of the apical part of the wings; the basai 

 branch is almost straight, obliquely slope and about one 

 fourth of the length of the apical, which is straight and 

 runs parallel with the costa. Front and vertex rounded, 

 not depressed.
